I saw a fitting that had a compressor quick connect on one side and hose fitting on the other on amazon, got ready to order it today, and it said 2 to 5 months for delivery  . Think I'll be going to HD and find the pieces you recommend.
Also, didn't see the black tank flush mentioned, I've seen a few times to not to forget to blow it out if you've got one.

WalMart has a hose blowout connection in their RV department for about $2.50. It's hanging with the regulators and brass hosee elbow connectors. I took that fitting, added a piece of black rubber windshield washer hose and plugged it into the air brush fitting I use to "sweep" the garage floor. Just open the low point drains, screw the fitting in the fresh water fitting on the trailer, push the compressor fitting into the rubber hose, turn it on and start opening and closing faucets... Be careful to adjust your compressor regulator to less than 40 PIS or so before you start.
